📣 Real Talk 📣
We are on the cusp of our 10 year business anniversary (June 1!) and while we are super excited about that and have some fun plans to celebrate this milestone, you may have noticed we’ve been barely active on our Instagram since before Christmas. 🫠
Truth be told, a significant part of our business happens in November and December, and it was safe to say we weren’t prepared for the level of orders this year. We based ordering and staffing on last year’s numbers and this year far exceeded that. This meant last minute panic ordering when we ran out of boxes and 6 weeks of 6-7 days a week 11-13 hours a day for me (Katie). Don’t get me wrong, we are BEYOND grateful for the business and so thrilled that 10 years in, both Andrew and myself get to do this as a full time job - and one that provides for our family (including our boys), but this - along with some other factors, lead to a fairly extensive period of burnout. We have been actively working/filling orders that come in as per usual and thank our clients and customers for their continued orders, but what we haven’t been doing was advertising on social media or developing or posting new boxes.
Our rockstar photographer patiently waited until we were ready to come up with some new boxes and she recently photographed over 40 new boxes which we are beyond excited to share with you - and we will have more coming!
We will soon be making some major changes to the website - taking down most of our current offerings and putting up all of these new boxes. You may also notice that some of the boxes we are keeping will increase a bit in price. The reality is that costs have gone up and we had not adjusted our pricing with the increases in the costs from the small businesses we source from. We continue to work hard to keep our operating costs as low as we can and offer value adds like complimentary laser engraving.
If you’ve read this far, thank you. There will be lots of new content coming SOON. We are fresh off a 10 day family trip which has left us feeling refreshed and back in love with our business and excited to celebrate 10 years! 🎉
❤️ Katie
